Abstract
A microvascular system comprising a polymeric matrix and a planar structure, where the planar structure comprises a plurality of branched microfluidic channels in the matrix. At least a portion of the microfluidic channels are interconnected, and the interconnections between the channels are located in a plane defined by a longitudinal section of the planar structure.
